For furnished accommodation, utilities are usually included in the price of rent. Unfurnished accommodation can be rented with or without utilities (both situations are equally common.) In general, there is at least a cooker (stove) included in the rent. Other utilities are to be provided by the tenant. In some cases it is possible for the landlord to adapt the arrangement to the needs of the tenant. In addition to rent, tenants often pay monthly charges to cover the maintenance of shared areas such as the hall, staircase and elevator.
